Copper Swarf Briquetting Machine

The Copper Swarf Briquetting Machine manufactured by ECOHYDRAULIC is a hydraulic metal recycling solution designed for efficient processing of copper chips, copper swarf, and machining waste. As a professional China manufacturer and supplier of metal briquetting systems since 1997, ECOHYDRAULIC focuses on improving metal recovery efficiency, reducing storage costs, and enhancing smelting performance for global customers in the recycling and metallurgy industries.

With over 30 years of engineering experience and more than 4000 installed systems worldwide, this equipment has been widely adopted in CNC machining workshops, copper processing plants, and metal recycling facilities across more than 50 countries.

Why Copper Swarf Briquetting is Necessary?

Copper swarf generated during machining processes often contains cutting fluids, irregular shapes, and low bulk density, which makes storage and transportation inefficient. Without proper processing, valuable copper material is easily oxidized and lost during melting.

By using a briquetting system, loose copper chips are compressed into high-density briquettes, significantly improving material handling and furnace efficiency while reducing environmental and operational costs.

Working Principle

Hydraulic Compression System

The machine uses a high-pressure hydraulic cylinder to compress copper swarf inside a closed mold chamber. The pressure ensures stable briquette formation with consistent density.

Pre-Pressing and Feeding Process

Copper chips are fed into the hopper and undergo preliminary compression to remove cutting fluid. The material is then pushed into the main pressing chamber for final shaping.

Automatic Control System

Equipped with PLC control, the system allows automatic operation, stable cycle control, and easy parameter adjustment according to different copper scrap conditions.
